Yoan Boronad and Thomas Vanbauce stop in Lithuania just like Louise Bahurel in Ireland. The three French players were eliminated at the semi-final stage, but leave with positives and valuable points.

Boronad/Vanbauce: an encouraging first outing in Kaunas

Au FIP Bronze KaunasBoronad/Vanbauce were the last French players remaining after the early eliminations of Wagner/Raichman and Basso/Robert. For their first time playing together in an international tournament, they delivered a very solid performance all the way to the semi-finals.

Their background:

  • 1st round: 6-0, 6-1 against the Poska brothers
  • Eighth: victory 6/7 6/4 7/5 against Spurio / Stracquadanini
  • Quarter: 6/1 6/1 against the lucky losers Levchuk / Yevdokimov

In the semi-final, the French faced a tough opponent: Romera / García (TS2).
Clear defeat 6 / 2 6 / 2, in a match where they were dominated from start to finish. Yoan Boronad, in particular, was not at his best.

Despite this, the overall assessment remains very positive:
a semi-final, consistency in the game, a successful first test… and 14 FIP points.

We will find Thomas Vanbauce from next week at FIP Silver Napoli, this time alongside Julien Seurin.

Louise Bahurel falls to a stronger opponent

Au FIP Bronze IrelandLouise Bahurel, partner of the Spanish Ana Cristina Sánchez Pérez, lived up to its ranking as the No. 4 seed.

Their background:

  • Eighth: 6 / 1 6 / 0
  • Quarter: 6/3 6/0 vs Vierendees / Tordoff

Seulement 4 games conceded in two matches, before a very tough semi-final against the overwhelming favorites López Díaz / López López (TS1).

The task was too great: defeat 6 / 1 6 / 3, logical against two top 100 players, who imposed their rhythm from the start.

Despite this, Louise and her partner leave with:

  • a semi-final,
  • 14 new FIP points,
  • and a great momentum before the FIP Silver Napoli, where the pair will be aligned again.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
